Camping and Kayaking at Memphis Lake

Every fall we go with our friends to Memphis Lake State Recreation Area, just 45 minutes away, for a one-night campout.  They bring their kayaks and other friends from our church congregation come as well.  We had a fun time on the lake, and sitting around the campfire enjoying each others' company. 

At the shore of the lake with our campsites in the background.

This was the first year that Molly got to be in a kayak by herself out on the lake.  She did a great job and was able to control her kayak REALLY well!

Molly was a natural at kayaking, and had a blast!

I'm in the red kayak, just pulling away from shore, Molly is in the background in the yellow kayak, and Lexie rode with Justin.  Due to a very rocky shore and a rather full kayak, they almost capsized after they pushed off from shore! He and Lexie ended up a little wet.
